Let’s Talk ľ¹ÏÖ±²¥ Touching (LTAT) Program
The Let’s Talk ľ¹ÏÖ±²¥ Touching (LTAT) program empowers young children with body safety knowledge through six essential rules to reduce the risk of sexual abuse. Widely adopted in British Columbia since 1986, LTAT is designed for early learning settings and primary classrooms (Kindergarten to Grade 3).
The updated 3rd Edition integrates trauma-informed practices, inclusivity, and cultural sensitivity, aligning with the BC Early Learning Framework, Indigenous Early Learning and Childcare Framework , and the ľ¹ÏÖ±²¥Code of Ethics . Educators are encouraged to adapt the program to meet the diverse needs of children in their centres.
LTAT helps embed body safety into everyday moments, fostering meaningful connections and empowering children as active participants in their learning. This training will equip you to create safe, inclusive, and responsive environments while strengthening your connection with families and communities.
